Part of the grounds of Foster Park in Denholme was a piece of farmland known as 'Little John' in 1849.

'Little John' is listed in the 1849 tithe award for Thornton in the parish of Bradford with the representatives of Mr Buck as landowners, Joseph Maud as occupier, state of cultivation as 'Arable', and an area of 1 acre, 3 roods and 25 perches (Template:AcreRoodPerchToM2 m2).[1] The plot immediately south of 'Little John' was called Robin Hood, below which was Robin Hood. For a discussion of the origin of these field names, see the page dealing with a plot of land situated c. 1.5 km NW of Foster Park which was entered in the tithe award as Brow & Robin Hood.
